Congrats!

I looked at that exact same car. Beautiful - Just didn't like the beige interior.

Before-after pics when you get everything installed!

might want to invest in some tires as I can tell you the stock ones has quite a bit of trouble putting the power down on a 35iS. The Cobb will push power past a stock 35iS and will be annoyed not being able to put the power down consistently

It currently has brand new Kuhmo tires on it but when they go I will be picking up some Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Would like to hear the milltek once you put put on the AR DP. I have the catless AR and still wonder if adding an exhaust would make the car sound way too loud (obnoxious like a straight pipe) or just more exotic (or bassy). Sound clip please. =)

Thought I'd bump this. We're on the brink of bringing home a new 35i and I have my eye on the Milltek exhaust. (Trying to decide between the Milltek and Eisenmann.) I may put a pair of AR downpipes on there someday, but don't want it to get too outrageous. I'd be interested to hear what you think of the Milltek + AR downpipes.

It sounds great. Pretty tame until you get into it and then it screams. I had a Cobb tune for my previous 135i and I am still waiting to get my Cobb tune on my Z4. Cobb only supported the 2010 and up Z4 35i but they are adding support for my car. They are great and their tune is even better. They have been working on my tune for a month now and I expect that I will get it back within the next 2 weeks. I will post a vid once I get my tune on my car.

So far I have installed:
KW V3's
AR DP's
Milltek
HPF FMIC

Glad to hear the Milltek is not too crazy with the AR DPs. I believe the Milltek is unresonated, which gave me pause. Do you have a sound clip?

Great choices in mods. I have KW v3s on my Mini Countryman (R60) and love them. They would be on the short list of "must-dos" on the 35i. Are you able to adjust the rebound on the rear struts without physically removing them from the car? That is one bummer about the KW v3s on the R60. I saw a video of a guy installing them on, I believe, an E46 M3. He cut a flap in the liner in the trunk that gave him access to the rebound nut on the top of the rear struts. It's not possible on the R60; I'm hoping it is on the E89.

What made you go with the HPF FMIC instead of the others available (e.g., Evolution Racewerks or the Dinan)? Genuine question, not rhetorical.

I cut a small hole in the covering to access the top of the shock to make adjustments. You use a very small allen wrench to make the adjustments so the hole really can't be seen.

I wanted to use the stock connections on the FMIC and that is why I went with HPF.

Good man. Glad it works on the E89. Got a picture of the location where you made the cut?

Gotcha. Makes sense. I'm still trying to read up on all the FMIC designs. It did not occur to me until I looked at the HPF unit that, potentially, any N54 intercooler (135, 335) will work.
